Bitcoin Hits All-Time High – So Why Aren’t Altcoins Rallying?
While Bitcoin is reaching new record highs, the altcoin market remains relatively flat. Here are the key reasons why:
Rising Bitcoin Dominance 🚀🚀
Investors are currently pouring more money into Bitcoin than into other cryptocurrencies. As Bitcoin dominance increases, it usually means less attention — and capital — is going to altcoins. For many, Bitcoin is the go-to entry point.
Altcoin Oversupply
With thousands of altcoins on the market — many offering similar features — investor capital gets spread too thin. This makes it difficult for individual projects to stand out or gain strong momentum.
Ethereum Isn’t Leading Yet
The ETH/BTC ratio remains weak. In past cycles, a strong Ethereum performance often signaled the beginning of an altcoin surge. Until ETH starts outperforming BTC, altcoins may continue to lag.
Altseason Typically Follows Bitcoin’s Peak
Historically, altcoins tend to rally after Bitcoin completes its major run or enters a consolidation phase. Right now, the spotlight is still firmly on Bitcoin, and altcoins may need to wait their turn.
